About My Clients
I work with clients who have experienced complex trauma and have experienced difficulty feeling safe in their bodies and relationships. I work with clients who have tried other therapies/treatments with little benefit. My clients see me to experience a polyvagal-informed, multi-generational trauma-informed, attachment based approach that moves at their own pace.
My Background and Approach
My approach uses relational body-based practices that shift nervous system functioning to promote being present instead of finding ways to distract. I am trained in Chi for Two which is a polyvagal-informed multi-generational trauma healing method that is a distillation of several healing modalities including trauma healing, somatic movement, meditative practices, psychology, and attachment theory. By age five, almost 90% of our brain has developed. It is within infant/parent interactions and multi-generational patterning that our development occurs. The Chi for Two practices (Chi meaning energy and Two meaning relational) help rewire nervous system functioning because they are based on infant/parent symbolic redos. Promoting choice and supporting healthy boundaries are foundational to my work as a therapist and embodiment coach. My hope is that you will feel empowered to make decisions that support your well-being from the moment you reach out.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe when we all know and offer our gifts to the world we can live harmoniously with earth's rhythms. I am passionate about helping people individually and collectively experience safety in their bodies and relationships so creativity and community can flourish. I am a racial healing circle facilitator and on the board for the Society for the Integration of Spirituality and Psychotherapy. I feel honored to help people re-connect to their bodies and spirits.
